Chapter 477: Bloodcore Warriors

Greenfire City,

‘Captain, I still don’t understand why Elder Ghost would send so many Bloodcore Warriors just to take care of some Foundation Establishment Realm youngsters?’

A middle-aged man silently asked an old man with a bit of frustration while waiting for their targets to leave Greenfire City.

‘Yes, Captain. Just one of the Bloodcore Warriors of our Bloodclaw Tribe is enough.’

‘Sending an entire team… it is just too much.’

‘I feel like Chief Drabek trusts Old Ghost a little too much and is unnecessarily careful about everything.’

.

.

.

Soon, a few more middle-aged men supported the first middle-aged man’s words.

They were all wearing normal robes, looking like some loose cultivators as they mingled with the other cultivators in Greenfire City.

‘I feel the same, but let’s not think too much about it and complete the mission quickly before going back to our regular duties.’

The old man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, also had a frustrated look in his eyes.

However, the orders of the tribe chief were absolute, and they had to follow them no matter how troublesome they were.

They were one of the special units called Bloodcore Warriors of the Bloodclaw Tribe.

Each one of them had a cultivation of Golden Core Realm, with the leader having a Perfected Golden Core Realm.

Their task was to explore the Secret Realm and collect rare cultivation resources for the tribe.

Because of that, their battle prowess was much greater than that of the average Golden Core Realm cultivators.

But the problem was, their new mission was to kill a bunch of Lin Family youngsters who were just in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

‘Here they come… they are the Lin Family Disciples.’

Amidst their discussions, the Captain of the Bloodcore Warriors noticed a group of disciples leaving Greenfire City and instantly recognised everyone.

‘Excellent… everyone is coming out at once.’

‘Looks like we can finish the mission and leave in no time.’

‘Great. I am tired of waiting.’

.

.

.

The other Bloodcore Warriors also noticed the group, and seeing that the number of disciples they had to assassinate matched their mission, everyone became excited.

‘Huh? What is that?’

‘Captain, did you notice? There is a Golden Core Realm disciple among them.’

‘From the looks of it, he must be around 20 years old and has already reached the Golden Core Realm.’

‘Even in Hermit Tribes, it is an achievement very few could accomplish.’

‘If we let him continue to grow anymore, it might become an issue for the Bloodclaw Tribe later.’

Since Ethan was not hiding his cultivation, all Bloodcore Warriors instantly noticed that and praised him before becoming determined to kill him at any cost.

‘Everyone, as soon as they leave the city and enter the forest, let’s end the mission.’

‘Yes, Captain.’

According to the information they received, none of the Lin Family disciples should have a Golden Core Realm cultivation; however, even if one of them did, it didn’t make any difference for the Bloodcore Warriors.

So, the captain didn’t think much and reconfirmed the spot where they would be taking action.

…

[Killing intent detected]

[Killing intent detected]

.

.

.

At the same time, Ethan received many system notifications through his Special Talent [I Am Your Killer].

As the experienced cultivators of the Bloodclaw Tribe, all Bloodcore Warriors are fully trained to control their killing intent towards their target.

However, such tricks won’t work in front of Ethan’s Special Talent because the moment anyone has negative thoughts towards Ethan, the Special Talent will trigger.

‘Huh? There seem to be at least a dozen cultivators who want to kill me.’

Although he was surprised to see the sudden killing intent, Ethan was already used to the sudden killing intent by now.

So, he casually counted the system notifications and guessed the number of stalkers following them.

Other than Ethan, there were around 10 youngsters who were returning to Greenspire Town, where the Lin Family lives.

‘They can’t take action within the city, and the ideal place should be in the small forest a dozen kilometers away from the city.’

By now, Ethan had started thinking like a killer and could guess the spot he would choose to kill someone.

Hence, he easily guessed the spot where they would take action.

‘Let’s see how powerful I am with just Level 1 Golden Core Realm cultivation.’

Despite not knowing the origins or strength of his stalkers with full killing intent, Ethan was not at all worried.

It was because he was confident that he could easily take care of anyone below the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even if the killers were above the Nascent Soul Realm, he had other trump cards to take care of them.

In short, Ethan was fully confident about the situation that would soon happen.

However, the problem was the Lin Family disciples.

There were many assassins, and if he was careless for a moment, they might kill the Lin Family Disciples through their mysterious methods.

Although Ethan had some General Revival Life Cards, he didn’t want to waste them as he still had five Night Demons to revive.

“Selena, why don’t you and the others go and shop?”

Thus, after thinking for a moment, Ethan gave them some low-level Spirit Stones and asked them to go shopping.

“Kai, how could you ask us to shop when we are getting kicked out of the Sect?”

One of the Lin Family disciples became agitated at Ethan’s words because everyone was sad that they were getting kicked out of the Greenfire Sect.

How could they be in the mood to shop now?

“I know it’s bad getting kicked out of the sect; however, there is nothing we can do about it.”

Ethan was patient as he explained, “I don’t know when we will get the chance to return to Greenfire City… isn’t it the best time to shop for cultivation resources?”

Since they were no longer the Greenfire Sect’s disciples, they couldn’t freely travel between Greenspire Town and Greenfire City.

So, Ethan just used that as an excuse to make them stay in Greenfire City.

“Alright, everyone! Let’s shop a bit before celebrating the end of our Sect lives.”

Selena looked at Ethan and took the Spirit Stones from Ethan without hesitation before taking the disciples along with her.

‘Kai, I don’t know what it is that made you suddenly change our plans. You better explain it later.’

Selena didn’t forget to say those words before leaving.

Ethan had already told her about his breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, and seeing Ethan changing the plans suddenly, she knew he sensed something, and until then, they were required to stay in the city, which would protect them.

‘She is really sharp. I should properly nurture her along with Elias and Shadow Bee.’

Ethan smiled, looking at the leaving silhouette of Selena before he went to the Starlight Merchant Union’s shop.

’20 Night Demon Puppets (Foundation Realm)… not bad.’

Spending 150 million Spirit Stones after a discount, Ethan bought 20 Night Demons inside the Starlight Merchant Union’s shop using his ‘Kai’ identity.

After mentioning that he was a newly ascended Core Disciple of the Greenfire Sect and showing the temporary Core Disciple badge, Ethan received an additional discount on his purchase.

Since Greenfire City is owned by the Greenfire Sect, the Core Disciple receives a discount of 40 percent; however, seeing that it was Ethan’s first time visiting the Starlight Merchant Union, they discounted another 10 million low-level Spirit Stones.

“By the way, I heard there won’t be this many Night Demon Puppets in the store. Is there anything special these days?”

Of course, Ethan didn’t forget to ask the reason why there were so many Night Demon Puppets compared to usual.

Back then, he only found 10 puppets, and during his second visit, he didn’t find any.

However, now, there were a whopping 20 Night Demon Puppets, making Ethan raise his brows a bit.

“Disciple Kai, how could you not know as a disciple of the Greenfire Sect?”

The attendant was surprised at Ethan’s question; however, Ethan replied, “I was in seclusion and only came out after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm. So, I don’t have much information regarding many things that happened recently.”

“Is that so?”

The attendant was not doubtful about it, as disciples always ask for such information while making their purchases.

Since the other person had bought stuff worth 150 million Spirit Stones, the attendant found no reason not to explain to him.

“Two months ago, an Inner Disciple awakened a special talent that could sense the demons living in the human towns and cities.”

“Thanks to his help, the Greenfire Sect led an expedition searching some towns and villages on the outskirts of the Emerald Green Plains and found hundreds of Night Demons.”

“Luckily, only a few Night Demons were killed, and the remaining were all converted into puppets.”

“Including the 20 I just sold you, my store has sold more than 200 Night Demon Puppets.”

The attendant explained everything in detail, making Ethan silent.

‘Damn it… I was busy focusing on becoming the owner of the Mystic Soil Domain and forgot about my promise to Seraphis.’

‘It looks like I have to hurry up and think of a plan for the Night Demons.’

Ethan silently decided in his heart.

Although he could revive the Night Demon Puppets back to normal, it cost him the General Revival Life Cards, and to revive hundreds of Night Demons, it would take lots of time.

So, Ethan’s plan was to save them even before they were turned into puppets.

“Thanks for the information.”

After thanking the attendant, Ethan quickly left the store and muttered, ‘Before that, I have to take care of these assassins.’

With that, he quickly left Greenfire City, and behind him, 10 silhouettes quietly followed.

‘So, 10 of them are following me. Good.’
